Sub-problem 3a: Analysis of the North Section of Krome Avenue (Class I Two-Lane Highway Facility)

Step 2. Results

The table below compares the results from the planning level analysis in sub-problem 2a with the operational level analysis. This table shows the values assumed by the service volume tables for all parameters, as compared with the values that apply to this facility. It shows the computations and results for both methods. The average travel speed (ATS) was computed as 45.2 mph, which suggests LOS C. The percent time-spent-following (PTSF) was computed as 66.9%, which suggests LOS D.

So, the resulting LOS was based on the PTSF and was found to be LOS D. This result was identical to the LOS estimate given by the service volume tables. The interpretation of the agreement between the two procedures is that the sum total of all of the differences between the assumed parameters and the site-specific parameters for this facility was not sufficient to produce a difference in the estimated level of service.
